Re: Letter to the DAs James Selfe

Good luck with your awaited response from Mr Selfe, he is past his shelf date. The DA has this notion that attracting "celebrities" will win them support and votes, wonder whatever happened to Nicky Van Der Berg, the radio "guru" who once was part of the herd, i think he is grazing elswhere.

Re: Letter to the DAs James Selfe

This is the response I got when I wrote them requesting their policy on FA’s

Dear Mr Wilkinson

Thank you for your enquiry. The DA's policy stance is that we support the right to private firearm ownership within an appropriate regulatory framework.

Regards
Zakhele Mbhele MP
DA Shadow Minister of Police

When I asked him to elaborate I got this

An appropriate regulatory framework would be one that:

1) limits firearm ownership to individuals with demonstrated and certified competency in, and appropriate measures for, firearm safekeeping, handling and use, and
2) prohibits, as far as possible, firearm ownership by individuals where there is reasonable cause to judge them mentally unfit for it, e.g. history of violence, criminal record for violent offence(s), demonstrated misuse of firearms, etc.

Re: Letter to the DAs James Selfe

Have to agree. Their showing is dreadful. They are or were trying to play a fair game against the ANC and took a beating.
They need to wake up... do what the ANC does: make promises now and try and figure out how to deliver when in power. The problem with the ANC is they took the money and ran...

They have lost my vote for the next round, for the first time ever. Hopefully our freedoms will be better protected elsewhere.

I think there are a lot more people doing that than we think. Either of these two would moderate the DA in a coalition. Cope has a more widely acceptable makeup where the VF+ would balance the far left of our politics out a bit more.
